Theory (it's possible): https://tetzoo.com/blog/2020/11/27/trope-of-the-buffalo-backed-dinosaur
The spines on a buffalo are a lot thicker and shorter. Any muscle attached to the spines of a spinosaurus would snap them in half.

23 0 ReplyI love the idea of this, but the size of their chest cavity leaves me wondering if it's feasible.
19 0 ReplyWould there be heavy ligament anchor points on the bones? It seems like there would be evidence of a completely different muscle build, maybe simply by the size of the spine bones themselves. I'm no bonologist, though.
And yeah, that chest is gnarly (but I'm no chestologist).

Maybe but some modern lizards have spinosaurus like frills so we know it's possible.

5 0 ReplyInteresting idea. Aren’t these huge neck muscles mainly for supporting their huge head while grazing?
